After making the call, Wu Xiaozhou stood quietly by Tong Baiyan's side, his gaze also landing on the photo on the table. Staring at the policewoman in the photo for a while, Wu Xiaozhou thought to himself that this policewoman did not seem to be the beautiful type at first glance, but after looking at her for a long time, she was actually quite pleasing to the eye.
After an unknown period of time, Wu Xiaozhou suddenly thought of something and said. Secretary, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. This morning, Chen Xing and the rest went to the retirement district for the city's old cadres.
Why did they go there? Tong Baiyan raised his head, and his expression turned ugly. Based on what he knew, some of the retired old cadres in the city were very restless. Some of them were not satisfied with the current city leaders, and many of them complained to the provincial government.
They should have gone to look for someone. The people following them said that they entered the third building and stayed there for almost two hours before coming out.
Did they know which building they entered?
No, the people following them only followed them from afar, and did not follow them into the building.
Useless. Tong Baiyan heard this and cursed in a low voice. Xiaozhou, I think the people you hired are not up to standard. Next time, you better tell them clearly what the inspection team did and who they met. If not, what's the point of following them? Like what you said, we only know that they entered the third building, but we don't know who they met. What's the use of that? There are more than ten families living in the third building, what's the use of knowing the number of buildings?
Alright, I'll tell them about it later. Wu Xiaozhou nodded, and did not argue further. Whatever the leader said was right, he just had to carry it out. As a secretary, the less opinionated you are, the better. If the leader needs you to answer, then answer. If the leader doesn't need you to say, even if you want to say it, you have to endure it.
After Tong Baiyan instructed Wu Xiaozhou, his brows furrowed again. The old cadres' retirement district was actually a very old district, and there were more than ten earthen buildings. The tallest buildings were only six to seven stories, and there were still many retired old cadres living there. Many of them refused to move out even though they had new houses, preferring to stay in those old houses. They said that after living there for a long time, they would develop feelings for the old houses. But in Tong Baiyan's eyes, those people were simply stupid, and did not know how to enjoy life.
Xiaozhou, help me compile a list of the old cadres living in the district. Oh right, help me compile a list of the old cadres in the district. Tong Baiyan thought for a moment before replying.
Tong Baiyan had just finished speaking when someone knocked on the door. When Wu Xiaozhou heard this, he hurriedly went to open the door. It must be Xiang Xiaohai.
Opening the door, as expected, Xiang Xiaohai was standing outside. Wu Xiaozhou invited Xiang Xiaohai in and gestured for him to look at the photo on Tong Baiyan's desk.
This is Yu Liting, Yu Yu from our bureau. Xiang Xiaohai replied after a casual glance. Just now, Wu Xiaozhou had asked him for the police officer's number. He had already known who it was after a quick check. There was no need for him to identify it.
Tell me about Yu Liting's situation. Tong Baiyan's face darkened.
Her situation was nothing special. She had passed the exam and her family did not have any background. Her parents seemed to be ordinary workers. Her husband should be working in a public institution. They had a daughter. That was about it. Xiang Xiaohai replied.
That's it? Tong Baiyan was a little annoyed, and he glared at Xiang Xiaohai with an ugly expression. Then tell me, why did she go to meet with the inspection team?
I really don't know about this. Xiang Xiaohai laughed bitterly. Yu Liting's behaviour in the bureau was normal. She had a good relationship with people and was always smiling. Logically speaking, there was no reason for her to report anything to the inspection team.
I didn't call you here for you to spout nonsense. Tong Baiyan looked at Xiang Xiaohai in annoyance.
Xiang Xiaohai was taken aback by Tong Baiyan's words. He rarely had the chance to interact with Tong Baiyan directly. He had to go through his old classmate, Wu Xiaozhou, to get to know Tong Baiyan. Seeing Tong Baiyan's anger, Xiang Xiaohai was at a loss.
Cough, Chief Xiang, Secretary Tong did not want to hear any unnecessary explanations. He wanted results. Wu Xiaozhou said.
Xiang Xiaohai was immediately enlightened by Wu Xiaozhou's reminder. Secretary Tong, don't worry. I will get to the bottom of this matter and report to you in time.
That's more like it. Tong Baiyan's expression softened. Remember, don't let the other party find out.
En, I understand. Xiang Xiaohai nodded in understanding.
After the few of them finished speaking, the entire office fell into silence. Tong Baiyan's face was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking. Xiang Xiaohai and Wu Xiaozhou exchanged glances, and neither of them dared to make a sound.
Yesterday's case has been settled? Tong Baiyan said coldly.
No problem, I can guarantee this to you. Xiang Xiaohai patted his chest as he glanced at Tong Baiyan and smiled warily. If something really happens, I'm the one who helped Secretary Tong to settle this matter. I won't be able to bear the consequences.
Tong Baiyan's face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with satisfaction. Xiang Xiaohai was a tactful person.
Looking at the time, Tong Baiyan waved his hand. Alright, you can go back first. Remember to report to me if there's any news.
After Tong Baiyan sent Xiang Xiaohai away, Wu Xiaozhou said, Secretary, I'll send Chief Xiang out.
Tong Baiyan nodded without saying a word. He seemed to be deep in thought. When Wu Xiaozhou was almost at the door, Tong Baiyan came back to his senses and called out to Wu Xiaozhou. Xiaozhou, arrange a car for me to go to the provincial capital. I'll be leaving in half an hour.
Alright, I'll arrange it immediately. Wu Xiaozhou nodded.
Walking out of Tong Baiyan's office, Wu Xiaozhou quickly caught up to Xiang Xiaohai. Xiang Xiaohai, who was walking with his head lowered, saw Wu Xiaozhou catching up to him, and he subconsciously turned his head back to look. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Xiaozhou, this Secretary Tong is really hard to please."
Heh, you've just seen it. Wu Xiaozhou smiled. Now you know how hard it is for your brother. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
It's indeed a little. Xiang Xiaohai nodded in agreement. Looks like it's not that easy to be the first secretary.
No matter how hard it is to be in this position, there are still a lot of people who want to get it. Wu Xiaozhou chuckled. Very quickly, he retracted his smile and said seriously, Old Xiang, there's only the two of us here. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. You must take today's matter seriously. Ning Shuangqi has just been taken away, and now the whole city is in a state of panic. However, the inspection team still hasn't left. I don't know what they're doing here. Secretary Tong's house has also been burglarized at this time. We must be careful. In Yuntian City, there are many people who don't like Secretary Tong.
Don't worry, you don't have to say it. I know what to do. Xiang Xiaohai nodded solemnly.
Sigh, it's good to follow Secretary Tong. We have a big tree to rely on, but we also have to be afraid. Especially in this kind of environment, it's really worrying. Wu Xiaozhou sighed softly.
